  2. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Woeful waste makes a woeful want.
    A row and a clout soon runs out.
    A pound of March dust is as good as a peck of gold.
    You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
    Birds a feather flock together.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    All that glisters is not gold.
    Punctuality is the keystone of success.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Live old horse and you'll get grass.
    Good work deserves good wages.
    Two heads is better than one.
    Rome was not built in a day.
    Wait on the wagon we'll all get a ride.
    Forgive others but not yourself.
